The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 468

Trade his and his family's lives for Stephen's? It was not worth it at all!

Nolan wanted to save Stephen so that his family could thrive in the future. If Stephen lived but not his family, everything would be meaningless.

It was then that Nolan finally realized Ethan was never going to save Stephen.

"Fine. I'll be taking my leave. Please excuse me," he said after a sigh.
